Why take this course? The course integrates the three-year (full time) study period of the BSc (Hons) course with one-year full time postgraduate study, leading to a single master’s qualification upon graduation. The fourth year of study will involve you performing an extended research project in an academic or commercial research laboratory or in a field-based study. The additional year of study at an advanced level will provide you will the background and experience to follow a professional career, either in academia, marine conservation or in industry. It will identify you as a person who has a greater knowledge of a research working environment and experience of research techniques in your chosen subject. This will better prepare you for continuing your studies at a PhD level or entering a bioscience industry.
